    '53 Cup - outside 'Owd Betts pub...

    We went past you twice in the Vee to see if you had a CS sticker. Looked v.clean. There was a green Mk1 parked further up with tints as well. Anyone? D.

    LOL - one of the few occasions it was, m8! I was out this morning washing it, before I went to work. How come you came down Shadsworth road? On the way back to work? The 'LAS' plate stood out a mile! :) D.

    Just bought a mini!

    Sure is. I've forgot the Macified Colouring-In term for it these days..... :rasp: D.

    good graphics card?

    Your AGP bus is going to be a limiting factor there, m8. You can get some of the X800 (and X850 iirc?) cards in AGP form, but they will be thin on the ground. A good all-rounder that will be cheap these days is the older ATi 9800 Pro. It's not cutting edge by a long shot, and despite only having...

    formating desktop without cds

    It can also depend if the CD is an OEM or open volume licensed version (aka corporate). Also, be wary of some of the torrents as they maybe vendor specific. You can install cross-vendor CDs, such as HP XP+SP2 onto say an NEC laptop, but it will still require a genuine XP key by the time it gets...

    question re computer breakdown

    LOL - easy tiger! :p D.

    Just bought a mini!

    You've got to hand it to Apple. The way they remain a thorn in the side of Microsoft and continue to grow is a testiment to their planning and product range. I'd never own a Mac due to the lack of decent game support (which is 90%+ what I use my home PC for.) However, I can definitely see...

    Apple G5 pricing

    Guys, Any rough idea what the G5's are going for at the moment? We're looking at a replacement for the elderly G4 here and it will be a 9 to 5 Adobe b**ch - Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Ideally dual CPU and a beefy amount of HDD space and onboard memory. Cheers, D.

    Outrun 2006 - Coast 2 Coast (on PC)

    Griff, don't you find it mad how 'unimpressed' we generally are with today's games? Imagine telling someone 20 years ago (who had just spent a fiver in 10p's on Outrun) what the state of the home games market would be like in 2006? Lee probably has a better insight than most of us, but the...

    Outrun 2006 - Coast 2 Coast (on PC)

    Well Sega certainly couldn't have made a simulation with a brand name like that. It makes the likes of Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer look like the most difficult driving games on the planet. It's definite Sega. By that, the old-time gamers (like me) who were around for the original arcade...

    Thievin Scallies!!!

    Exactly what I was thinking. Has there been some under-handed developments recently that most of us don't know about? Very worrying. :dapprove: Hope the insurance doesn't batter you on the upcoming 172, m8? D.

    ITG Panel Filter

    I found it tended to whistle a little more under hard acceleration. Not by much, but enough for me to notice it. Be prepared to get your hands covered in s**t, fitting it though. It's caked in a grease-type solution and gets everywhere if you're not careful! ;) D.

    At last my 197 arrived.

    I'm going to get flamed to death here.....:D But looking at those pics above (and assuming I knew NOTHING of the RS range/history) I would assume that that car was something like a Clio 1.4. It just looks so bland. The only 'sporty bits' on that stand out are the vents behind the front wheels...

    Megane Trophy add on for rFactor

    Looks good. I've never played rFactor yet, but with the increase in community support, it certainly grabs my attention. I'm glad to hear that the developers have focused on physics as the main element of the game. The last thing we need on a PC is another highly-polished, tarted-up game that...

    Mobo chipset question

    Has anyone got experience of an nVidia 570 (or 590) SLi motherboard? Are there any pros & cons over the usual nVidia nForce 4 SLi setup? I'm thinking purely from a gaming point of view and without overclocking, really. Cheers, D.

    Bloody hell. £350? :D Absolute bargain. I bet you'd easily get that back if you kept it standard and sold again next year! D.

    Why Does Everyone **** Off Modified Cars?

    The colour of your car looks fantastic. :D Reminds me of that V6 colour - Moonshine Blue or something? Does it actually go darker the further towards the rear of the car you look, or is that a trick of the light? I'd be happy with that. Modified, unique and not in your face. It's also instantly...

    Blue V6 Rochdale

    Wish we'd known that before! I was a co-pilot in the Vee the other Friday night. Had a blast up the M66, off through Rawtenstall, then Bacup and Todmorden. Came through Mytholmroyd and ended up stopping at a chippy alongside Hollingworth Lake on the way back. Maybe I can get Jain to retrace her...

    wireless numptys

    Yep, WEP's a piece of urine to crack. Unfortunately, some of the older wireless kit only supports WEP - even if it is in 128-bit. WPA-PSK is easy to use and pretty good. D.

    wireless numptys

    The difference being is that an amoeba knows not to leave the keys in his/her car. For those who don't give a flying monkey's about PCs, setting up wireless is far from easy. Those 3-page Easy Start start guides that come with the wireless kits, make me piss. It's only when you print off the...

    ITG panel filter for 182

    Just me being over-cautious, m8! I've changed the oil every 6k on my 182 and it's on 17,500 now - so 18k is rapidly approaching. Along with the oil and oil filter, I was going to swap out the panel filter too. I certainly haven't 'felt' the car struggling, but for the price of them, I'd rather...

    ITG panel filter for 182

    Anyone know of the best place to get one from? Mine's been in my 182 for about 15 months, so rather than clean it (like I posted in my own dumbass thread :p ) - it will be easier just to buy a new one. Cheers.. D.

    LMFAO!!!! What friggin state has this country let itself get into, eh? No one has any standards, morals or sense of decency anymore. The little b******s should made to feel 110% worthless, maybe strip them naked while the victims of their petty crimes pelt them with eggs and then be made to...

    B**tards! B**tards!

    Debz - not trying to make light of knobheads who did that to your car(s) but I remember visiting the BMW Import centre over near Immingham (?) years ago. The manager there said just how many Beemers leave the ship from Germany with bangs, dents, scrapes, etc that all get sorted out before being...
